Putin Calls for Halting Arms Supplies to All Sides of Conflict in Syria

World

HANOVER, Germany – It is necessary that arms imports to all sides of the conflict in Syria are halted, Russia’s President Vladimir Putin said in Hannover, adding that Russia is ready to discuss this,  Russia Today reported on Monday.

 “As for Syria we don’t have a solution yet. What do I think should be done? Halt arms import to the country, but to all sides of the conflict,” he said at the annual industrial fair in Hannover.

Responding to the allegations of Russia supplying weapons to Syria, Putin said, “We supply the legitimate government.This is not prohibited by international law.”
Moscow has repeatedly stressed that it is only fulfilling contracts that are already signed, which includes sending only defensive weapons.

On Friday, talking to German press, Putin cited a New York Times report according to which armed terrorist groups have recently received 3.5 tons of weapon and ammunition.

“There are international legal norms stating that it is unacceptable to supply arms to the armed groups that strive to destabilize the situation in a certain country with the use of arms,” Putin said. “This has to stop.”
